Mortgage Enforcement Guidelines

Summary

A mortgagee can enforce a mortgage against a surety by ensuring independent legal advice, understanding of the transaction, and written confirmation from a solicitor. A legal mortgage of land can be created by a deed stating the land is mortgaged, giving the mortgagee a legal interest. A legal mortgagee under a charge by deed has the same powers as one with a conveyance, including possession and sale rights if the borrower defaults.
